...which is a very clever idea as you can see - Air New Zealand Skycouch.
I had all three seats to myself between LA and Auckland and it was really quite comfortable. You can't stretch out unless you are about 5ft nothing but I managed to curl up and get a bit of sleep although this was hard as I was continually tormented by the recent memories of my London to LA flight in Business Premier. For a couple travelling together who can't or won't justify the extra cost of Premium Economy or BP, the Skycouch is a great option.
Even without Skycouch, the new Economy on the 777-300 is superb and a huge improvement on the 777-200, so much so that I would now recommend travelling through LAX rather than HK and taking the transit hassle on the chin. The 777-200 seats are seriously short of cushioning and I've always had to ask for extra pillows to sit on but the 300 seats are perfect. Add to this a high quality 10.6" wide format touchscreen TV, power for phones and laptops and some handy storage nooks and crannies and I would say you can't do better in Economy Class with anyone.
